"Just call me aunt..."
Yin came in later and didn't see what was happening to Old Madam Shen at first. When she saw what was happening, she was so scared that she exclaimed, "Oh, mother-in-law, what happened to your hair?"
"Can a stroke cause hair loss?"
"This, this is too much hair falling out. The top of my head is completely bald..."
When Old Madam Shen heard Yin's exclamation, she was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.
Mrs. Xu was afraid that her niece would make her die of anger: "Alright, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and find a hat or something to put on your mother-in-law."
"This mother-in-law wants to lie in bed, how uncomfortable it is to wear a hat!"
"Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking back?" Old Madam Xu glared at Yin.
Yin shrank her neck and could only pout and go look for it herself.
Only then did Old Madam Xu walk to the bedside, but her eyes first fell on Yang Zhao. She looked him up and down before sitting down on the bed and began to wipe her tears hypocritically.
But Yang Zhao clearly saw that Madam Xu smiled several times under the cover of the handkerchief, especially when his eyes met the top of the old lady's head.
"Sister, now that Li'er has been appointed an official, the Shen family can finally see the light of day. Hui'er is taking care of the household chores for you. Just rest assured and take good care of your health. Don't overthink things. And your hair...will always grow back."
When the topic of hair was brought up, Madam Shen's eyes turned red and she glared at Madam Xu fiercely.
Old Madam Shen was the youngest daughter of the Xu family and was very much loved. When she was young, she was also very spoiled and not very respectful to her sister-in-law. Later, after marrying into the Shen family, her nose became even more arrogant.
Old Madam Xu has suffered a lot from her for decades.
Now seeing her in such a miserable and paralyzed state, Mrs. Xu felt so relieved that she had to force herself not to laugh out loud.
At this time, Yin found the hat.
A red one.
When Mrs. Shen saw this, she glared again in anger.
"Put it on your mother-in-law." Old Madam Xu said.
Yin Shi didn't dare to ask anyone else to do it, so she stepped forward and put it on Old Madam Shen. After putting it on, she said, "Red, it's quite festive."
Old Madam Shen was so angry that she closed her eyes tightly.
Madam Xu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, "Alright, everyone else please leave."
He sent away Li Pozi and other servants.
Madam Xu then turned her gaze to Yang Zhao, "You must be Li'er's daughter-in-law, Ah Zhao."
"Yes, aunt."
"What a lovely girl! Come! Come to your aunt." Old Madam Xu smiled and waved to Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao stepped forward.
Madam Xu grabbed her hand and took off the white jade bracelet from her wrist: "When you married into the Shen family, it was during a time when our family was in trouble. Your uncle and I were unable to attend the ceremony. Today is the first time we meet."
"Take this bracelet as a gift from your aunt." As she said that, Mrs. Xu put the bracelet on Yang Zhao's wrist.
Yang Zhao looked at Yin: "Mother-in-law, this..."
"It's just a bracelet, just accept it." Yin said casually. But Old Madam Xu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
That’s it?
When these words came out of her mouth, her bracelet suddenly seemed as cheap as if it was picked up from the ground!
Yin naturally didn't know.
Seeing Yang Zhao dressed in plain white, she immediately frowned in dissatisfaction: "A Zhao, today is the day when Li'er is being appointed an official. Why are you dressed like you're attending a funeral? Go back and change into something more festive. You really have no tact at all!"
Who is the one who has no vision?
Old Madam Xu was afraid that Yin would send the people away, so she immediately said, "The old lady at home is seriously ill, so how can the family dress so festively? Ah Zhao's clothes are just right. They are simple and elegant. You can tell at a glance that he is a good child who knows how to be filial."
Old Madam Xu took Yang Zhao's hand and sat on the stool in front of the round table, her eyes full of love: "Look at this little face, how pretty and beautiful he is! Li'er is really a blessed child."
"You are so kind, Auntie."
"I've heard from your mother-in-law that it's been really hard for you to support this family in the past six years. I heard that you were injured a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?" Old Madam Xu asked with a distressed look on her face.
"Much better. Thank you, aunt, for your concern."
"Good boy!"
Madam Xu patted the back of her hand and said lovingly, "After all, this body belongs to you, so you need to take good care of it. How about this, you have a cousin who has studied under the palace female doctors? How about I ask her to come and take care of you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao smiled calmly.
